Hi everyone,

We had an incredible WDP 10 at New Holly, with over 250 people in attendance. It was a packed room, and the Somali, Zumba, Bachata, Israeli, Hip-Hop, Salsa, Samba, Bollywood, and line-dancing instructors did not disappoint. Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who helped to make the event possible. And the food you all brought was delicious! Here’s a picture below. See more on our Facebook page.

Meanwhile, our friends in Shoreline are having a WDP tonight at Shoreline Community Center. See the details! Sorry about the short notice, but if you’re free, let’s bring the energy to Shoreline!

Hi everyone,

We had a blast, holding our 9th WDP at Folklife. Thank you to our instructors (Eberley, Flamenco; Angela, Belly Dancing; Magnus, West African; The Sliders, line dancing; D’Vorah, Israeli dancing; and Patrick, Swedish). Tons of people showed up. Here’s a video:

WDP may take a break during the summer, doing background stuff like applying for funding to do more WDPs next year, and adding the WDP touch to other events like the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition’s Festival on August 17th and the Othello Park Festival on Sunday August 19th.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 9 WDPs so far so much fun. See you again soon.
